Lamson 56509 Santoku

The Granton edge features hollow scallops along the blade that create small air pockets between the steel and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the side of the knife while you slice.

No, the handle is crafted from stabilized, infused walnut and should be hand-washed only. To maintain the integrity of the wood and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.

A full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, which provides superior balance, weight distribution, and structural integrity. This design makes the knife feel more stable and durable during heavy-duty kitchen tasks.

The blade is forged from high-carbon Grade 4116 stainless steel sourced from Solingen, Germany. It is ice-hardened to a 58 Rockwell hardness, which strikes an excellent balance between maintaining a razor-sharp edge and resisting corrosion.

Yes, the knife features a sleek, integrated bolster that is specifically designed to accommodate both a traditional handle grip and a pinch grip. The seamless transition from the handle to the blade ensures comfort and safety regardless of your preferred cutting style.
